I couldn't do his job

[kierthos]

Okay, the President is an idiot. I'm not going to argue that point. I don't think anyone on my friends' list would either. And even though I consider myself fairly smart, I don't think I do could do Bush's job.

This has nothing to do with what I perceive as my ability to run a country, prosecute a war, or buddy up to the oil industry. It's because I wouldn't take the job very seriously.

I mean, calling up the Premier of China and ordering take-out? Yeah, I can't see that going over very well, except on the comedy circuit. And if I wasn't harrassing Wen Jiabao over that mu shu pork that hasn't arrived yet, I'd be laying into him verbally over the failure of communism. "Listen Wen, we've got this city here in the States, called Berkeley. They've been communist for just as long as you, and they've really been trying it. And you know, those Californians... smart as a whip. Crazy as a shithouse rat, half the time, but smart. And if they can't get it to work... well, I'm just saying..."

I would, actually...

Went to a good college, got good marks...

He has poor verbal skills, I admit, but he's not stupid.

During the last election, people were always saying "Kerry is so much smarter" and I had to keep reminding them that he and Bush went to the same college, and Bush got better grades...

Thanks to my mother, my business e-mail regularly gets GOP e-mails, talking points, memos, marching orders, blah blah blah... HOW she managed to get in on their inner circle mailing list I simply do not know. But, there was one thing I thought I'd share.

Early in 2001, there was a rumor that went around the party. According to rumor, the FIRST thing GW did upon sitting in the President's chair in the Oval Office, he picked up the International phone, got a hold of the Russian Prime minister (maybe Putin, I don't remember who it was at the time) and, in character voice, told the PM that he had a "Death Ray Laser", and that he would destroy the world if Putin did not hand over "One MILLION Dollars!".

Sorry, but honestly, that is sort of endearing to me. I still belong to Hojo's "Nationalist" party, though.
